mosaik-api-v3 3.0.12

Python implementation of the mosaik API version 3.

Mosaik API for Python

This is an implementation of version 3 of the mosaik API for simulators written in Python. It hides all the messaging and networking related stuff and provides a simple base class that you can implement.

Installation

Just use pip to install it:

$ pip install mosaik-api-v3

Documentation

Please refer to mosaik’s documentation of the API.

Example Simulator

This distribution contains an example simulator in the example_sim package.

It can be started via the pyexamplesim command; pyexamplesim --help shows you how to use it.

It can also be run in-process by importing and calling example_sim.mosaik.main().

Example MAS

This distribution contains an example “multi-agent system” that uses the asyncronous remote calls to mosaik (get_progress(), get_related_entities(), get_data(), set_data()).

It can be started via the pyexamplemas command; pyexamplemas --help shows you how to use it.

It can also be run in-process by importing and calling example_mas.mosaik.main().

Development setup

To setup a devleopment environment, create a virtualenv and install the packages from requirements.txt:

$ mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 mosaik-api-python
(mosaik-api-python)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the tests for the Python version you are currently using, execute py.test. You should also add the test coverage check:

(mosaik-api-python)$ py.test --cov=example_mas --cov=example_sim --cov=mosaik_api_v3

To run the tests for all supported Python versions, run tox:

(mosaik-api-python)$ tox

Changelog

3.0.12 - 2024-08-19

• [FIX] Remote exceptions occurring during calls to mosaik are now correctly reported to the calling simulator.

3.0.11 - 2024-07-17

• [CHANGE] Set default logging level back to info

• [NEW] configure_logging flag on start_simulation to control automatic logger setup

3.0.10 - 2024-05-17

• [CHANGE] Simulators return a stacktrace to mosaik when running into an exception

• [FIX] Type for ModelDescription was missing fields

3.0.9 - 2024-03-28

• [CHANGE] We don’t overwrite the logging system in start_simulation anymore, except when the user explicitly sets –log-level on the command line. This also changed the default level to debug.

3.0.8 - 2024-03-25

• [FIX] Enable yielding coroutines in finalize

3.0.7 - 2023-12-19

• [FIX] Make example_sim’s meta legal

3.0.6 - 2023-12-13

• [FIX] Close asyncio.StreamWriters properly

3.0.5 - 2023-11-08

• [CHANGE] Improve typing support: package is marked with py.typed file, types are exported from mosaik_api_v3, Meta and CreateResult are split into optional and required fields

3.0.4 - 2023-08-31

• [NEW] Use loguru for logging

• [CHANGE] Remove simpy.io

3.0.3 - 2022-12-14

• [NEW] Add datetime utility

3.0.2 - 2022-06-01

• [CHANGE] Use internal mosaik-simpy-io>=0.2.4 instead of simpy.io

3.0.1 - 2022-04-22

• [CHANGE] Set external events via highlevel function call

3.0.0 - 2021-05-02

• [CHANGE] Added time_resolution to init function

• [CHANGE] Added max_advance to step function

• [NEW] Implemented set_events capability (external events)

2.4.2 - 2020-11-24

• [FIX] Constrain simpy to version <4 due to simpy.io incompatibility

2.4 - 2019-02-05

• [NEW] Simulator can now be started on a different node than mosaik, using the remote flag “-r” and the timeout flag “-t”. Mosaik can the integrate the simulator using the “connect” method of the simmanager.

2.3 – 2019-01-24

• [BugFix] Bugfix Tests

2.2 – 2016-02-15

• [NEW] API version 2.2: Added an optional “setup_done()” method.

• [CHANGE] API version validation: The API version is no longer an integer but a “major.minor” string. The major part has to math with mosaiks major version. The minor part may be lower or equal to mosaik’s minor version.

• [FIX] Various minor fixes and stability improvements.

2.1 – 2014-10-24

• [NEW] Allow extra API methods to be called. See http://mosaik.readthedocs.org/en/2.0/mosaik-api/high-level.html#mosaik_api.Simulator

• [CHANGE] The rel entry in the entity description returned by create() is now optional.

2.0 – 2014-09-22

• Initial release of the mosaik 2 Sim API for Python.
